Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that uses plain text formatting to produce formatted output. Created by John Gruber in 2004, it uses simple symbols like # for headings, ** for bold, and * for italic. Markdown is widely used for README files, documentation, blog posts, and note-taking because it is readable as plain text while converting cleanly to HTML.

What Markdown syntax is supported?

This editor supports: headings (# to ######), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), bold+italic (***text***), inline code (`code`), fenced code blocks (```), unordered lists (- item), ordered lists (1. item), blockquotes (> text), horizontal rules (---), links ([text](url)), images (![alt](src)), and strikethrough (~~text~~).

How do I convert Markdown to HTML?

Use the "Copy HTML" button in the toolbar to copy the rendered HTML output to your clipboard. You can then paste it directly into any HTML document or template. The preview panel shows exactly how the HTML will look when rendered in a browser.
